Marty's garden

Marty's Garden (created in memory of my wonderful father-in-law Marty, who passed away 3 years ago) has gained a new addition: an official sign. My son Joe created the plaque in ceramics class a few years ago (it's hard to read, but it says "In Loving Memory of Martin Luther Krauss"), and our friend Jim created the official sign holder to hold the plaque.

Jim is actually the one who gave me the idea for creating the memory garden. It has been his tradition to plant items in memory of friends who have passed away. It is a wonderful way to honor and remember a loved one.

About Me

Gee - I'm a middle aged woman who works full-time, the mom of a wonderful daughter and son, the wife of an amazing guy who has stood by me for almost 25 years, the owner of 3 wonderful cats and a loving 14 year old dog who's getting a bit senile. I love my family dearly. And I love my home (probably too much; I'd much rather be here than go away). I love humor and good friends who are trustworthy. I like to cook and I just started to garden last year. This year was the first year for a veggie garden - I'm getting better at flowers.
